Signature

We use premium hotels that are unique expressions of the region. Often they’ve had a previous life as a monastery or a castle, but in every case they offer an exceptionally comfortable stay.

Bistro

These are stylish 4-star properties that offer a casual and comfortable stay. Often without a 24-hour concierge or room service, they tend to be smaller family-run hotels that are perfect for the region.

Big Island Adventure

Hawaii’s aptly named ‘Big Island’ is a surprising refuge; an incredible history and miles of open road invite you to discover its storied landscapes. In Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, witness lava spew from an active volcano and spend a night basking in its red glow just beyond Kīlauea Halemau’mau Crater. Then, swim beneath sky-high waterfalls, float above playful manta rays and explore sacred lands in Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau Park. To locals, the Big Island is known as the real Hawaii—come see it for yourself.
